Locked in her room, trapped within the walls of Raven Stone castle, Julianna’s life has been like a prison sentence, controlled by her evil, conniving mother and cowardly father. Her mother, the mad Queen Agnes, has sold her in marriage to an awful prince, who aims to take what he wants, regardless of her wishes. Julianna longs to be freed of her mother’s twisted quest for power, and to find a purpose in life as something other than breeding chattel. If only she could be like the warrior in her dreams. Then she sees the golden warrior with eyes like a steely sea who arrives at the port of Raven Stone.. Viking Jarl Yrsa Hilde Eidottir arrives at Raven Stone requesting to purchase land for her people, but her secret mission, unknown to the Mad Queen, is to find the lost daughter of Frejya and bring her home. Frejya has shown her in dreams that she must fight to save her. Then she sees the pale beauty of Raven Stone castle, with hair as black as a raven’s wings and eyes as red as a cardinal. Yrsa is sure that is the right one. Nothing will stop her from bringing Julianna back to her rightful home… her home. Fire and Ice come together, with a romance for the ages in Vivian’s first LGBTQ+ romance. The Raven and the Shield is Part 1 of a 2-part love story.
